          Micheal, 19 May 2017I am using this phone for the past 1 year. Few days back updated to Android 7.0 it is great...... morePlease don't use any 3rd party apps for fonts. It may create unwanted issues. But you can still buy fonts and install from "Galaxy Apps". Regards.

                          Very pleased with this phone, working perfectly as a mid range phone. Multitasking easily, never any problems with internet connectivity or anything. Sure, a little bit weak for games - but if you want gaming, then midrange phone is not the right choice. Have had 1 or 2 freezes with hard reset during one year of using it, personnally I think it's nothing, considering how other people with iPhones and much more expensive phones curse their phones for bugging and freezing. Great battery time. Only thing - 16GB are a bit short for all the apps, even having an external SD card doesn't help, as system is taking a lot of space. Working fine with Android 6, will see, what happens (if) with 7. Very happy overall.
